Who would have thought that they need to put those “Employees Must Wash Hands Before Returning to Work” stickers in a dentist office? And we’re not talking about in the bathroom. Here’s the story:

A British dentist was found guilty Thursday of urinating in his surgery sink and using dental tools meant for patients to clean his fingernails and ears.

A medical tribunal said it was satisfied the evidence showed 51-year-old Alan Hutchinson, who routinely did not wear gloves or wash his hands, had risked the health of “himself, staff and patients” for more than 28 years.

A dental nurse who worked for Hutchinson for 16 years said she had caught him urinating in the sink more than once.

“He was tucking something into his trousers before zipping them up hastily. I walked over and I was behind him. He moved to the left and I could smell urine,” the nurse told the tribunal.

If you want gross, imagine that you are a patient of this guy and then read this story in the morning paper!
